On the evening of September 25, 1947, Wang Yiji, a senior lady of the tea house and an underground member of the Communist Party of China, and his brother went to the Futong Printing House on Weihai Road to contact and work. What I did not expect was that due to the betrayal of the traitors, the Kuomintang agents who had been waiting outside for a long time blocked the sisters and brothers in the printing house on the spot for questioning. At this critical juncture, Wang Ping calmly coped, and with the cooperation of his father Wang Shuangqiu, who rushed to hear the news, he negotiated with the enemy and finally turned the danger into a disaster. Wang Ping, formerly known as Wang Lihua, joined the Communist Party of China in June 1942. It has successively carried out underground work in Datong Middle School and Wuguang Girls' Secondary School.
At that time, there was a hidden tea room on the second floor of the tea house, where the underground party often used the cover of tea tasting to discuss and study the party's work. Whenever this happened, she would place a pot of flowers on the street window sill and a teapot on the indoor eight immortals table to show safety; if there were no flowers and teapots, other underground party members would immediately take a detour. It can be seen that the task of carrying out underground struggle at that time was difficult and thrilling.
Qian Qichen, former vice premier of the State Council, who led Wang Ping in carrying out underground work during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, once wrote an inscription: Comrade Wang Ping threw himself into the revolution in his early years, endured hardships and hardships, and remained unswerving throughout his life, and he is worthy of being a true Communist Party member.
This revolutionary past and the red legend provide precious and vivid historical materials for the younger generation to understand the history of the party.
In 2021, Wang Yiji's Longjing tea blending and production skills were identified as the Huangpu District Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Project, and today's century-old Wang Yiji continues to innovate, upgrade and replace, and strive to continue to write the new glory of Huangpu.
